                      NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION
- --------------------

PFGI  Capital  Corporation  (PFGI  Capital)  is  a  Maryland  corporation
incorporated on May 9, 2002. All of PFGI Capital's  Common Stock is owned
by The Provident  Bank (the Bank).  The principal  business  objective of
PFGI Capital is to acquire,  hold,  and manage  commercial  mortgage loan
assets and other authorized investments that will generate net income for
distribution to PFGI Capital's  stockholders.  As such,  management views
its  financial  condition  and  results  of  operations  as one  business
segment.  PFGI  Capital  has  elected  to be  treated  as a  real  estate
investment trust (REIT) for federal income tax purposes.  As a REIT, PFGI
Capital generally is not liable for federal income tax to the extent that
it  distributes  its income to its  stockholders  and continues to meet a
number of other requirements.

The Bank,  an Ohio  state-chartered  member bank of the  Federal  Reserve
System,  is the  main  subsidiary  of  Provident  Financial  Group,  Inc.
(Provident)  and  provides  full-service  retail and  commercial  banking
operations.  PFGI Capital, the Bank and Provident's executive offices are
located  at One East  Fourth  Street,  Cincinnati,  Ohio  45202,  and its
Investors Relations telephone number is (513)345-7102 or (800)851-9521.

NOTE 2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
- -----------------------------

The accompanying  unaudited financial statements reflect all adjustments,
consisting  of normal  recurring  accruals,  which are, in the opinion of
management,  necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position,
the results of operations, changes in shareholders' equity and cash flows
for the periods presented.  These financial statements have been prepared
according to the rules and  regulations  of the  Securities  and Exchange
Commission and, therefore,  certain information and footnote  disclosures
normally  included in financial  statements  prepared in accordance  with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) have
been  omitted.  The results of  operations  for  interim  periods are not
necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

The preparation of financial  statements in accordance with GAAP requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported
in the  financial  statements.  Actual  results  could  differ from those
estimates.

The financial  statements  and notes thereto  appearing in PFGI Capital's
2002  annual  report  on  Form  10-K,   which  include   descriptions  of
significant accounting policies, should be read in conjunction with these
interim financial statements.

NOTE 3. LOAN PARTICIPATIONS AND RESERVE FOR LOAN PARTICIPATION LOSSES
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------

Participations  in loans  are  generally  purchased  from the Bank at the
Bank's carrying value, which  approximates fair value.  Carrying value is
the principal  amount  outstanding plus accrued  interest.  A reserve for
loan participation losses is transferred from the Bank to PFGI Capital at

                                   -7-

                      NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

the time participations are transferred.  Loans sold back to the Bank are
accompanied  by a  transfer  of the  reserve  for those  loans  from PFGI
Capital to the Bank. The reserve for loan  participation  losses reflects
management's  judgment as to the level  considered  appropriate to absorb
inherent losses in the loan participation portfolio. PFGI Capital did not
have any nonperforming  assets or impaired loans during the first quarter
of 2003.

The  following  table  sets forth an  analysis  of the  reserve  for loan
participation  losses for the period from January 1 to March 31, 2003 (in
thousands):

NOTE 4. EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE
- ---------------------------------

Basic  earnings per common share is the amount of earnings for the period
available to each share of Common Stock outstanding  during the reporting
period.  Diluted  earnings  per common  share is the  amount of  earnings
available to each share of Common Stock outstanding  during the reporting
period  adjusted for the  potential  issuance of common  shares for stock
options,  convertible debt, etc. The earnings  available to each share of
Common Stock has been reduced by any Series A Preferred  Stock  dividend.
PFGI Capital has no stock options or convertible  debt or other potential
equity instruments and therefore basic and diluted earnings per share are
calculated  on the same  basis.  The  Bank  owns  all of the  issued  and
outstanding Common Stock of PFGI Capital.

The  following  table sets  forth the  computation  of basic and  diluted
earnings  per common  share for the first  quarter of 2003 (in  thousands

NOTE 5. REGISTRATION AND ISSUANCE OF PRIDES
- -------------------------------------------

Provident  and PFGI Capital  registered  6,000,000  PRIDES  pursuant to a
Registration  Statement  filed with the  Securities  Exchange  Commission
which was declared  effective on June 6, 2002. In addition,  the managing
underwriter,  Merrill  Lynch & Co.,  was  permitted  to purchase up to an
additional  600,000 PRIDES to cover  over-allotments.  Provident and PFGI
Capital sold the 6,000,000  original  PRIDES  effective June 12, 2002 and
the 600,000  over-allotment  PRIDES  effective July 2, 2002. The offering
was subsequently terminated as all registered PRIDES had been sold.

Gross   proceeds  from  the  sale  of  PRIDES  were  $165  million.   The
underwriting  discount  and  expenses  incurred  from the issuance of the
PRIDES totaled  $6,542,000 of which 85%, or $5,561,000,  was allocated to
PFGI  Capital.  The remaining 15% was allocated to Provident as its share
of the PRIDES transaction.

PFGI Capital  used all of the net  proceeds it received  from the sale of
the PRIDES for the  purchase of  participation  interests  in  commercial
mortgage loans from the Bank. The Bank used the proceeds from the sale of
the  participation  interests for general corporate  purposes,  including
working capital and funding of asset growth.

NOTE 6. DESCRIPTION OF PRIDES
- -----------------------------

Each PRIDES has a stated  amount of $25.00 per unit and is  comprised  of
two  components - a 3-year  forward  purchase  commitment  (the  Purchase
Contract) and PFGI Capital Series A Preferred Stock.

Each Purchase  Contract  obligates the holder to buy, on August 17, 2005,
for $25.00,  a number of newly issued  shares of  Provident  Common Stock
equal to the settlement  rate. The settlement  rate will be calculated as
follows:
o  if the applicable  market value of Provident  Common Stock is equal to
   or greater than $29.0598, the settlement rate will be .8603;
o  if the  applicable  market value of Provident  Common Stock is between
   $29.0598 and $24.42,  the settlement  rate will be equal to the $25.00
   stated amount divided by the applicable market value; and
o  if the  applicable  market value is less than or equal to $24.42,  the
   settlement rate will be 1.0238.

"Applicable  market value" is defined as the average of the closing price
per share of  Provident  Common  Stock on each of the twenty  consecutive
trading days ending on the fifth trading day immediately preceding August
17, 2005.

Under the Purchase Contract,  Provident will also make quarterly contract
adjustment  payments to the PRIDES holders at an annualized rate of 1.25%
of the stated amount ($0.3125 per share).

                                   -9-

                         PFGI CAPITAL CORPORATION
                      NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Holders  of PFGI  Capital's  Series A  Preferred  Stock are  entitled  to
one-tenth of one vote per share on all matters submitted to a vote of the
shareholders,  voting as a single class with the holders of Common Stock.
The holders of Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive, if, when, and
as  authorized  and  declared  by the board of  directors  out of legally
available assets,  non-cumulative cash dividends at the rate of 7.75% per
annum of the  initial  liquidation  preference  which is $25.00 per share
($1.9375 per share). Dividends on the Preferred Stock will be payable, if
authorized  and  declared,  quarterly  in arrears on February 17, May 17,
August  17 and  November  17 of each  year,  or if any  such day is not a
business day, on the next  business  day. The  Preferred  Stock will rank
senior to the  Common  Stock of PFGI  Capital as to  dividend  rights and
rights upon liquidation, winding up or dissolution.

In connection with the settlement of the Purchase Contract, Provident has
engaged a remarketing  agent to remarket the PFGI Capital Preferred Stock
on behalf of the holders,  at which time the PFGI Preferred Stock will be
permanently  detached  from the  Purchase  Contract.  Once  the  Purchase
Contract is settled,  there will be two separate and distinct  securities
outstanding: PFGI Capital Preferred Stock and Provident Common Stock. The
proceeds  received  from the  remarketing  will be used by the holders of
Preferred  Stock to  fulfill  their  commitment  under  the  terms of the
Purchase Contract.

Upon a successful  remarketing of shares of the PFGI Capital's  Preferred
Stock, the applicable dividend rate on the shares of Preferred Stock that
have been  purchased in the  remarketing  will be reset to the reset rate
described  below. The dividend rate of shares of Preferred Stock that are
not remarketed will not be reset and will continue to be 7.75%.

The reset rate will be determined by the reset agent as the dividend rate
the Preferred  Stock should bear for the Preferred Stock to have a market
value on the fifth business day immediately  preceding August 17, 2005 of
100.5% of the aggregate  liquidation  preference of the Preferred  Stock,
plus declared and unpaid dividends, if any.

Each  share  of PFGI  Capital's  Preferred  Stock  will be  automatically
exchanged  for one newly  issued  share of Bank Series A Preferred  Stock
upon the occurrence of an exchange event. An exchange event occurs when:
o  the Bank  becomes  less than  "adequately  capitalized"  according  to
   regulations  established by the Federal  Reserve Board pursuant to the
   Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation  Investment Act or as determined
   by the Ohio  Division of Financial  Institutions  pursuant to the Ohio
   Banking Code and regulations thereunder;
o  the Bank is placed into conservatorship or receivership;
o  the  Federal  Reserve  Board,  in its sole  discretion,  directs  such
   exchange  in writing,  and,  even if  Provident  Bank is not less than
   "adequately  capitalized,"  the  Federal  Reserve  Board  or the  Ohio
   Division of Financial  Institutions,  as the case may be,  anticipates
   the Bank becoming less than "adequately capitalized" in the near term;
   or

o  the  Federal  Reserve  Board,  in its  sole  discretion,  or the  Ohio
   Division of Financial  Institutions,  in its sole discretion,  directs
   such  exchange  in  writing  in the  event  that the Bank has a Tier 1
   risk-based capital ratio of less than 5.0%.

Additional  information  concerning the PFGI Capital's Series A Preferred
Stock may be found in its Registration Statement on Form S-3, as amended,
effective June 6, 2002.

NOTE 7. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
- ----------------------------------

PFGI Capital holds a 95%  participation  interest through a participation
agreement  with the Bank in certain loans  originated by the Bank and its
subsidiaries.  Generally,  the participation  interests are in commercial
mortgage  loans  secured  by real  property  that  were  either  directly
underwritten  by the Bank and its  subsidiaries  or acquired by the Bank.
PFGI Capital expects to continue to purchase such interests in the future
from the Bank under the terms of the participation agreement.

The  participation  agreement  also  provides for the Bank to service the
commercial  mortgage  loans  underlying the  participations  held by PFGI
Capital in a manner  substantially the same for similar work performed by
the Bank for  transactions on its own behalf.  The servicing fee that the
Bank charges is .125% per year of the average daily outstanding principal
balances of the commercial  mortgage loans  underlying the  participation
interests. Loan servicing costs incurred by PFGI Capital totaled $101,000
for the first quarter of 2003.

A  summary  of loan  participation  activity  between  the  Bank and PFGI
Capital for the first quarter of 2003 follows:

Principal Balance at January 1, 2003                                    $ 325,005
Subsequent Transfers of Loan Participations from Bank to PFGI Capital       4,626

The  day-to-day  operations  of PFGI Capital are managed  pursuant to the
terms of a management  agreement  between the Bank and PFGI Capital.  The
Bank, in its role as manager under the terms of the management agreement,
receives a management fee designed as a reimbursement  for costs incurred
to manage PFGI Capital.  The Bank is required to pay all expenses related
to  the  performance  of  its  duties  under  the  management  agreement,
including any payment to its  affiliates  for managing PFGI Capital.  The
management  fee  that the Bank  charges  is .10% per year of the  average
daily  outstanding  principal  balance of the  commercial  mortgage loans
underlying the participation interests.  Management fees incurred by PFGI
Capital total $81,000 for the first quarter of 2003.

                      NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The Bank owns 100% of the Common Stock of PFGI Capital.  Accordingly, the
Bank will receive all common dividends paid, if any, by PFGI Capital.

As of  March  31,  2003  and  December  31,  2002,  PFGI  Capital  had an
interest-bearing   deposit   account  of   $6,539,000   and   $5,357,000,
respectively,  at the Bank and a net receivable of $220,000 and $279,000,
respectively, from the Bank.

NOTE 8. LEGAL CONTINGENCIES
- ---------------------------

On May 3, 2003, a purported  class action was filed in the U.S.  District
Court for the Southern District of Ohio by shareholder  Silverback Master
Ltd. against Provident,  PFGI Capital,  Provident's President,  Robert L.
Hoverson,  Provident's Chief Financial Officer, Christopher J. Carey, and
Allen L. Davis and John R. Farrenkopf,  former officers of Provident,  on
behalf of all  purchasers  of PRIDES  in or  traceable  to a June 6, 2002
offering of those securities  registered with the Securities and Exchange
Commission  and  extending  to March 5, 2003.  This  action is based upon
circumstances   involved  in  a  restatement  of  earnings  announced  by
Provident on March 5, 2003. It alleges  violations of securities  laws by
the defendants in  Provident's  financial  disclosures  during the period
from March 30, 1998 through March 5, 2003 and in the June 2002  offering.
The suit  seeks an  unspecified  amount of  compensatory  damages  and/or
rescission of purchases of those securities.

- -------------------------------------------------------------------------
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- ---------------------

INTRODUCTION

PFGI Capital is a Maryland  corporation  that was  incorporated on May 9,
2002. PFGI Capital's  principal business  objective is to acquire,  hold,
and manage mortgage  assets and other  authorized  investments  that will
generate  net  income  for  distribution  to  its   shareholders.   Since
operations  commenced in June 2002,  PFGI Capital has been operating as a
REIT for federal income tax purposes.

PFGI Capital is a subsidiary  of the Bank,  which is owned by  Provident.
All of PFGI  Capital's  day-to-day  activities  and the  servicing of the
loans  underlying its  participation  interests are  administered  by the
Bank.

The  participation  agreement  between the Bank and PFGI Capital requires
the  Bank  to  service  PFGI   Capital's   loan  portfolio  in  a  manner
substantially  the same as for  similar  work  performed  by the Bank for
transactions  on its own behalf.  The Bank collects and remits  principal
and interests payments,  maintains perfected  collateral  positions,  and
submits  and pursues  insurance  claims.  The Bank also  provides to PFGI
Capital  accounting  and  reporting  services  as  required.  The Bank is
required to pay all  expenses  related to the  performance  of its duties
under the participation agreement.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Form  10-Q  contains  certain  forward-looking  statements  that are
subject to  numerous  assumptions,  risks or  uncertainties.  The Private
Securities  Litigation  Reform  Act of 1995  provides  a safe  harbor for
forward-looking  statements.  Actual results could differ materially from
those  contained in or implied by such  forward-looking  statements for a
variety of factors  including:  sharp  and/or  rapid  changes in interest
rates;  prepayments  of loans with fixed  interest  rates,  resulting  in
reinvestment  of  the  proceeds  in  loans  with  lower  interest  rates;
significant  changes in the  anticipated  economic  scenario  which could
materially change anticipated credit quality trends; adverse economic and
other  developments in states where loans are concentrated;  the possible
exchange of Series A Preferred Stock for preferred  shares of the Bank at
the  direction  of the  Federal  Reserve  Board or the Ohio  Division  of
Financial Institutions if the Bank becomes undercapitalized;  the failure
of PFGI Capital to maintain  its status as a REIT for federal  income tax
purposes;  and  significant  changes in  accounting,  tax, or  regulatory
practices  or   requirements   and  factors  noted  in  connection   with
forward-looking    statements.    Additionally,    borrowers    of   loan
participations  could  suffer  unanticipated  losses  without  regard  to
general economic conditions.  The result of these and other factors could
cause differences from expectations in the level of defaults,  changes in
risk characteristics of the loan participation  portfolio, and changes in
the provision for loan participation losses.  Forward-looking  statements
speak only as of the date made. PFGI Capital undertakes no obligations to
update any forward-looking  statements to reflect events or circumstances
arising after the date on which they are made.

     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
                          RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

SUMMARY

PFGI Capital  reported net income  available  to common  shareholders  of
$850,000,  or $0.14 per common share, for the first quarter of 2003. Cash
dividends of $3,197,000,  or $0.4844 per share, were paid to the Series A
Preferred shareholders during this time period. No dividends were paid to
the common shareholders during the first quarter of 2003.

At March 31, 2003 and December 31, 2002, PFGI Capital had total assets of
$329,373,000 and $328,515,000,  respectively. These assets were primarily
comprised  of  net  commercial  mortgage  loan  participations   totaling
$321,497,000  and   $321,755,000  as  of  the  same  dates.   These  loan
participations  were all acquired from the Bank.  Equity for PFGI Capital
was  $329,365,000  and $328,515,000 as of March 31, 2003 and December 31,
2002, respectively.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Interest Income

PFGI  Capital's  primary  source of  revenue  is  interest  income on its
commercial mortgage loan  participations.  A secondary source of interest
income is interest  earned on a deposit  account  held at the Bank.  PFGI
Capital  has no  interest-bearing  liabilities  and no  related  interest
expense. Total interest income was $4,255,000 for the quarter ended March
31, 2003. The yield on the loan  participation  portfolio as of March 31,
2003 was 5.20%.

Provision For Loan Participation Losses

The  provision  for loan  participation  losses is the charge to earnings
necessary to maintain the allowance  for loan losses at a level  adequate
to absorb management's estimate of inherent losses in the loan portfolio.
There was no provision  for loan  participation  losses  during the first
quarter  of 2003 as all  loan  participations  were  transferred  to PFGI
Capital with a reserve and there were no charge-offs.

Noninterest Income and Expense

PFGI  Capital  did not record  any  noninterest  income  during the first
quarter of 2003.  Noninterest  expense of $208,000 was recognized  during
this  time  period.   Noninterest   expense  is  comprised  primarily  of
compensation  paid to the Bank for loan  servicing  and  management  fees
which  totaled  $101,000 and $81,000,  respectively.  On an annual basis,
loan servicing fees are assessed at a rate of 0.125% of the average daily
outstanding  principal balance of the loan  participations and management
fees are  assessed  at a rate of 0.10% of the average  daily  outstanding
balance of loan participations.

Income Taxes

PFGI  Capital has elected to be treated as a REIT for federal  income tax
purposes and intends to maintain  compliance  with the  provisions of the
Code and therefore is not subject to income taxes.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Commercial Mortgage Loan Participations

As of March  31,  2003,  PFGI  Capital  had  $321,497,000  of  commercial
mortgage loan participations net of reserves. The participation portfolio
was acquired  from the Bank.  In order to qualify as a REIT, at least 75%
of PFGI Capital's assets must consist of real estate assets.

The  following  table  shows  the  geographic  distribution  of the loans
underlying the commercial  mortgage loan  participations  as of March 31,
2003:

Other Assets

As of March 31, 2003 and  December  31,  2002,  PFGI  Capital had cash of
$6,539,000 and $5,357,000,  respectively,  in an interest bearing deposit
account at the Bank.  As of March 31,  2003,  the account was  yielding a
rate of 1.20%.

Additionally,  PFGI Capital had interest  receivable  of  $1,105,000  and
$1,107,000,  accounts  receivable of $220,000 and  $279,000,  and prepaid
expenses of $12,000 and  $17,000 as of March 31,  2003 and  December  31,
2002, respectively.

INTEREST RATE RISK MANAGEMENT

PFGI  Capital's   income   consists   primarily  of  interest  income  on
participation  interests in commercial  mortgage loans. PFGI Capital does
not intend to use any  derivative  products to manage its  interest  rate
risk. If there is a decline in market  interest  rates,  PFGI Capital may
experience a reduction in interest income on its participation  interests
and a  corresponding  decrease in funds  available to be  distributed  to
shareholders.  The reduction in interest  income may result from downward
adjustments  of the indices  upon which the  interest  rates on loans are
based and from prepayments of loans with fixed interest rates,  resulting
in   reinvestment  of  the  proceeds  in   lower-yielding   participation
interests.  Further information  regarding market risk can be found under
Item 3 of this report.

                          RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

CREDIT QUALITY

PFGI  Capital's  exposure  to credit  risk is managed  through its use of
consistent  underwriting  standards  that emphasize  "in-market"  lending
while   avoiding   excessive   property   type  and   business   activity
concentrations.   The  Bank's  credit  administration   function  employs
extensive  risk  management  techniques  to ensure  that loans  adhere to
corporate  policy  and  problem  loans  are  promptly  identified.  These
procedures provide executive management of the Bank and PFGI Capital with
the  information   necessary  to  implement  policy   adjustments   where
necessary,  and take  corrective  actions  on a  proactive  basis.  These
procedures  also include  evaluating the adequacy of the reserve for loan
participation  losses, which includes an analysis of specific credits and
the application of relevant reserve factors that represent relative risk,
based on portfolio  trends,  current and historic  loss  experience,  and
prevailing economic conditions, to specific portfolio segments.

Concentration   of  credit  risk   generally   arises  with   respect  to
participation  interests when a number of underlying loans have borrowers
in  the  same  geographical   region  or  with  similar  property  types.
Concentration  of credit risk may increase the  relative  sensitivity  of
performance  to both  positive  and  negative  developments  affecting  a
particular region or property type. PFGI Capital's balance sheet exposure
to  geographic  concentrations  directly  affects  the credit risk of the
underlying loans within the participation interests. Approximately 88% of
the loans  underlying  the  participation  interests are located in Ohio,
Florida and Kentucky. Consequently, the portfolio may experience a higher
default  rate in the event of adverse  economic,  political,  or business
developments  or  natural  hazards  in these  states  and may  affect the
ability of  borrowers to make  payments of principal  and interest on the
underlying loans.  "Shopping / Retail" and "Office / Warehouse"  property
types represent approximately 30% and 28% of the total loan participation
balance,  respectively.  As a result, the portfolio may also experience a
higher default rate in the event of adverse business developments related
to these property  types.  Borrowers  obligated in loans  underlying PFGI
Capital's participation interests, however, do not represent a particular
concentration of similar business activity.

Non-performing  assets  consist  of  underlying  loans that are no longer
accruing interest and property acquired through  foreclosure.  Commercial
mortgage  loans  are  placed  on  non-accrual  status  and stop  accruing
interest  when  collection  of  principal  or  interest  is in  doubt  or
generally when the  underlying  loans are 90 days past due. When interest
accruals are suspended,  accrued  interest  income is reversed with prior
period accruals  charged to earnings.  As of March 31, 2003, no loans had
been placed on  non-accrual  status nor had any  property  been  acquired
through foreclosure. Additionally, no loan participations were delinquent
thirty or more days as of March 31, 2003.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The objective of maintaining  liquidity  within PFGI Capital is to ensure
the  availability  of sufficient cash flows to meet all of PFGI Capital's
financial and dividend commitments.  In managing liquidity,  PFGI Capital
takes into account various legal limitations placed on a REIT.

PFGI  Capital's  principal  liquidity  needs  are to  maintain  the  loan
participation  portfolio  size  through  the  acquisition  of  additional
commercial  mortgages as loans  currently  in the  portfolio  mature,  or
prepay, and to pay dividends to the holders of Preferred Stock and Common
Stock.   The   acquisition   of  additional   commercial   mortgage  loan
participations  is intended to be funded with the proceeds  obtained from
the repayment of principal balances by individual borrowers. PFGI Capital
does not anticipate any material capital expenditures.

Holders of PFGI  Capital's  Preferred  Stock are entitled to receive,  if
authorized  and  declared  by  the  board  of  directors,  non-cumulative
dividends  at the rate of 7.75% per  annum,  or  $1.9375  per  share.  As
6,600,000  shares of Preferred  Stock is  outstanding,  cash dividends of
$3,197,000 are expected to be paid each quarter.

     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
                          RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

As  an  alternative  to  distributing  a  cash  dividend  to  its  common
shareholder, PFGI Capital has the option of distributing a dividend using
a procedure known as a "consent  dividend",  as authorized by Section 565
of the Internal  Revenue  Code. A consent  dividend  procedure is where a
shareholder,  on the last day of a REIT's tax year,  agrees to treat as a
dividend the amount that the REIT so designates, without any distribution
of cash  or  property  actually  occurring.  The  effect  of the  consent
dividend  is that the REIT is  considered  to have paid a dividend on the
last day of its tax  year,  and the  shareholder  is  treated  as  having
received  that  amount and  contributed  it back to the REIT.  The dollar
amount of the consent dividend is included, as if it were distributed, in
the calculation to determine that at least 90% of a REIT's taxable income
has  been  distributed  to its  shareholders.  PFGI  Capital,  as a REIT,
receives a deduction for dividends  paid,  reducing its taxable income by
the amount of the  consent  dividend,  but  without the need to have cash
available to  distribute.  PFGI Capital and its common  shareholder  have
agreed to use the consent dividend  procedure.  As a result, PFGI Capital
will have additional  funds available for investment  purposes and/or for
distribution to its preferred shareholders.

ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
- -------------------------------------------------------------------

Management is concerned with the timing and magnitude of the repricing of
assets  and  liabilities.  It is  management's  objective  to  attempt to
control risks associated with interest rate movements. Market risk is the
risk of loss from adverse  changes in market  prices and interest  rates.
Market risk arises  primarily from interest rate risk inherent in lending
and other related activities.  Management actively monitors interest rate
risk exposure. Management reviews, among other things, the sensitivity of
assets and liabilities, as applicable, to interest rate changes, the book
and market values of assets and liabilities, unrealized gains and losses,
purchase and sale  activity,  maturities of investments  and  anticipated
loan  participation  pay-offs.  PFGI  Capital's   interest-rate-sensitive
assets  consisted  largely  of  participation   interests  in  commercial
mortgage   loans.   At  March  31,  2003,  10%  of  PFGI  Capital's  loan
participation  portfolio  had fixed  interest  rates.  Such loans tend to
increase interest rate risk. At March 31, 2003, PFGI Capital did not have
any interest-rate-sensitive liabilities.

As  indicated  earlier,  PFGI  Capital's  income  consists  primarily  of
interest income from  participation  interests.  If there is a decline in
market interest rates resulting from downward  adjustments in the indices
upon  which the  interest  rates on loans are  based,  PFGI  Capital  may
experience a reduction in interest income and a corresponding decrease in
funds available for distribution to holders of Preferred Stock. A decline
in  interest  income can also be  realized  from  prepayments,  including
pay-offs,  of loans with fixed interest rates,  resulting in reinvestment
of proceeds in lower-yielding  participation  interests. The borrower has
the ability to prepay a loan with or without premium or penalty depending
on the provisions found in the underlying loan  agreements.  The level of
underlying loan prepayments is influenced by several  factors,  including
the  interest  rate  environment,  the real estate  market in  particular
geographic areas, the timing of transactions,  and circumstances  related
to individual borrowers and loans.

In order for PFGI Capital to have sufficient cash flows to meet projected
expenses and scheduled  dividend  payments to holders of Preferred Stock,
loan participations of PFGI Capital cannot yield lower than approximately
4.20%.  As of  March  31,  2003,  the  average  weighted  yield  on  loan
participations  was 5.20%.  Assuming that the investment in participation
interests  remain  level,  yields on loan  participations  would  have to
decrease by 100 basis points before cash flows would be  insufficient  to
cover the regular dividend payments to holders of Preferred Stock.

ITEM 4.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
- --------------------------------

An  evaluation  was  performed   under  the   supervision  and  with  the
participation  of  management,  including  the  principal  executive  and
financial  officers,  of the effectiveness of the design and operation of
PFGI Capital's disclosure controls and procedures within 90 days prior to
the  filing  of this Form  10-Q.  Based on that  evaluation,  management,
including the principal executive and financial officers,  concluded that
PFGI Capital's  disclosure controls and procedures were effective with no
significant  weaknesses noted. There have been no significant  changes in
PFGI  Capital's   internal  controls  or  in  other  factors  that  could
significantly  affect  these  internal  controls  after the date of their
evaluation.




                        PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
- -------------------------

On May 3, 2003, a purported  class action was filed in the U.S.  District
Court for the Southern District of Ohio by shareholder  Silverback Master
Ltd. against Provident,  PFGI Capital,  Provident's President,  Robert L.
Hoverson,  Provident's Chief Financial Officer, Christopher J. Carey, and
Allen L. Davis and John R. Farrenkopf,  former officers of Provident,  on
behalf of all  purchasers  of PRIDES  in or  traceable  to a June 6, 2002
offering of those securities  registered with the Securities and Exchange
Commission  and  extending  to March 5, 2003.  This  action is based upon
circumstances   involved  in  a  restatement  of  earnings  announced  by
Provident on March 5, 2003. It alleges  violations of securities  laws by
the defendants in  Provident's  financial  disclosures  during the period
from March 30, 1998 through March 5, 2003 and in the June 2002  offering.
The suit  seeks an  unspecified  amount of  compensatory  damages  and/or
rescission of purchases of those securities.

   a) All significant deficiencies in the design or operation of internal
      controls which could adversely affect the  registrant's  ability to
      record,  process,  summarize  and  report  financial  data and have

      internal controls; and
   b) Any fraud,  whether or not material,  that  involves  management or
      other  employees  who have a significant  role in the  registrant's
      internal controls; and
6. The registrant's other certifying officer and I have indicated in this
   quarterly  report  whether  or not there were  significant  changes in
   internal controls or in other factors that could significantly  affect
   internal   controls   subsequent  to  the  date  of  our  most  recent
   evaluation,   including   any   corrective   actions  with  regard  to
   significant deficiencies and material weaknesses.
